Frequently Asked Questions
The text content is extracted accurately, but exact layout, columns, fonts and images from the original PDF are not reproduced — each line of text becomes its own paragraph. If you need a pixel-perfect visual copy, our PDF to JPG tool captures each page exactly as it looks.
Reconstructing a PDF's precise visual layout as editable Word formatting is a genuinely hard problem that normally requires a dedicated document-layout engine (the kind desktop office suites use). PDFHome focuses on getting the text content right rather than guessing at formatting it might get wrong.
Only if the scan already has a text layer. For image-only scans, run our OCR PDF tool first to make the text extractable, then convert to Word.
Yes. The entire conversion happens on your own device in your browser — your file is never transmitted over the internet.
